Consumers will get a chance to go hands-on with Wonderbook and JK Rowling's Book of Spells during a lengthy tour of the UK.

A solus pack which features the Wonderbook accessory and Book of Spells software for £30.99, a bundle which includes the book, the software, the PlayStation Eye and PlayStation Move for £70.99, and a set which includes the PlayStation 3 console (price TBC).
